Town of Kinderhook Recreation Commission
The Recreation Commission is comprised of five town residents appointed by the Town Board. The Commission is an active board responsible to the Town for providing high-quality year-round indoor and outdoor recreational activities for Town residents. The Commission meets regularly to review policy, programs and procedures. Community attendance and input regarding programs and facilities is welcome.
Parks and Recreation Department
The department was established for the purpose of conducting and promoting recreation, play, sport and physical education. The department plans, organizes, promotes, and provides worthwhile leisure programs and facilities to serve the physical, emotional, and social needs of the residents of our community, regardless of one’s ability.
Parks and Recreation Staff
The department looks to hire the best-qualified individuals possible to staff and instruct our many programs. Our department presently uses applications, personal interviews and reference checks as part of its screening process. In all instances we will do everything possible to provide a positive learning experience and offer a safe, secure environment for your child. The Recreation Department strives to offer community programs within budget limitations. Many Recreation Department programs are self-supporting. Fees charged for programs help cover the costs of operating the program, such as instructor salaries and materials. Program instructors and part-time employees are hired on a seasonal basis. If you are interested in offering a program please contact our office.
DEPARTMENT OBJECTIVES:
1. Coordinate recreational activities with the schools, youth groups and youth sports programs.
2. Better utilize and upgrade parks, ball fields, and conservation land.
3. Set up new programs to be self-supporting and explore ways of generating additional revenue through grants and donations. Recreation activities are coordinated through our office staff, which is comprised of one full-time director. The Recreation Commission is looking for additional volunteers who are interested in planning programs for all Kinderhook residents.
